Hashtag Ridic

(I’m scooping ice cream when four girls approach, probably in
their early teens. One girl doesn’t look up from her cellphone the
entire time.)Girl #1: “Like, O-M-G. We should totes get ice cream.”Girl #2: “We should! Hashtag delicious!”(At this point I sort of do a double take as I have never heard anyone use ‘O-M-G’ and ‘hashtag’ in an actual sentence. )Girl #3: “Totes hashtag guilty pleasure. Hashtag favourite food.”Girl #1: “O-M-G . What flavors should we get? Hashtag decisions!”Girl #3: “Hashtag double scoops. Hashtag muffin top! Let’s each get two scoops! We’re soooo bad!”(They proceeded to get their ice cream and then I witnessed them
all smooshed together outside the store taking selfies with their ice
cream cones, all while making a duck face. I needed to take a break
after that to regather my faith in humanity.)
